A chimpanzee feeding her offspring shared a heartwarming moment with a new mom when she spotted her baby and walked over to show off each other’s newborns. Amy Angell, from Essex, England, became a member of Colchester Zoo after fellow new moms said it would be a relaxing place to get some fresh air and push her stroller around with her baby son. Having visited the zoo a number of times in her first week, Amy heard a new chimpanzee would soon be moving in, so she headed to the chimpanzee enclosure on May 11 to try to see her. As Amy pushed her pram inside, she noticed a mother chimpanzee sat breastfeeding her baby in the middle of the enclosure. Amy hadn't seen her do this before, so she pulled her three-month-old son's stroller up to the window to get a closer look. Then, suddenly, the mother chimp, Kora, noticed Amy's stroller and was immediately interested in her son – walking over to get a closer look herself.
